< Amoos 6 >

1 Yaa warra yaaddoo malee Xiyoon keessa jiraattan, kanneen Tulluu Samaariyaa irra waan nagaadhaan jiraatan seetan, isaan namoota ulfaatoo saba durii, kanneen sabni Israaʼel gara isaanii dhufuuf wayyoo!
Woe to them that set at nothing Sion, and that trust in the mountain of Samaria: they have gathered [the harvest of] the heads of the nations, and they have gone in themselves.
2 Gara Kaalneetti darbaatii ilaalaa; achii kaʼaatii gara Hamaati guddichaa dhaqaa; ergasii immoo Gaati Filisxeem keessaatti gad buʼaa. Isaan mootummoota keessan lamaan caaluu? Biyyi isaanii biyya keessan caalaa balʼataa?
O house of Israel, pass by all [of you], and see; and pass by thence to Ematrabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Philistines, the chief of all these kingdoms, [see] if their coasts are greater than your coasts.
3 Isin guyyaa hamaa fageessitanii bulchiinsa jeequmsaa fiddu.
You who are approaching the evil day, who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;
4 Isin siree ilka arbaatiin miidhagfame irra ciiftu; siree keessan dinkii irra boqottu. Isin xobbaallaa hoolaa filatamoo fi jabbii coccoomoo nyaattu.
who sleep upon beds of ivory, and live delicately on their couches, and eat kids out of the flocks, and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;
5 Isin sagalee baganaatiin weedduu faayidaa hin qabne weeddiftu; akkuma Daawitis meeshaa muuziiqaa qaqqajeelfattu.
who excel in the sound of musical instruments; they have regarded them as dwelling, not as fleeting [pleasures];
6 Isin xoofoo keessaa daadhii wayinii dhugdu; dibata akka malee gaarii dibattu; garuu badiisa Yoosefiif hin gadditan.
who drink strained wine, and anoint themselves with the best ointment; and have suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity of Joseph.
7 Kanaafuu isin warra jalqabatti boojiʼaman wajjin boojiʼamtanii fudhatamtu; burraaquu fi bashannanuun keessan ni hafa.
Therefore now shall they depart into captivity from the dominion of princes, and the neighing of horses shall be cut off from Ephraim.
8 Waaqayyo Gooftaan ofii isaatiin kakateera; Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani of tuulummaa Yaaqoob nan balfa; daʼannoo isaas nan jibba; ani magaalattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda dabarsee nan kenna.”
For the Lord has sworn by himself, [saying], Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut off [his] city with all who inhabit it.
9 Namoonni kudhan yoo mana tokko keessatti hafan isaanis ni dhumu.
And it shall come to pass, if there be ten men left in one house, that they shall die.
10 Yoo firri reeffa baasee gubu tokko mana sana keessaa baasuuf dhufee nama dhokatee achi jiru kamiin iyyuu, “Namni tokko iyyuu si wajjin jiraa?” jedhee gaafatee namichi sun, “Hin jiru” jedheen, inni “Calʼisi! Nu maqaa Waaqayyoo dhaʼuu hin qabnu” jedhaan.
But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavor to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet [any one] else with you? And he shall say, No [one] else. And [the other] shall say, Be silent, that you name not the name of the Lord.
11 Kunoo Waaqayyo ajaja kenneeraatii, manneen gurguddaan ni barbadaaʼu; manneen xixinnoonis ni caccabu.
For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will strike the great house with breaches, and the little house with rents.
12 Fardeen kattaawwan irra ni fiiguu? Namni tokko qotiyyoodhaan achi ni qotaa? Isin garuu murtii qajeelaa gara summiitti, ija qajeelummaas gara hadhaatti geeddartaniirtu;
Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for you have turned judgment into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:
13 isin warra Lodebaar moʼachuutti gammaddanii, “Nu humna keenyaan Qaarnaayim qabanne mitii?” jettanii dha.
you who rejoice at vanity, who say, Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?
14 Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedhaatii; “Yaa mana Israaʼel, ani saba Leeboo Hamaatii jalqabee hamma sulula Arabbaatti karaa keessan hunda irratti isin cunqursu tokko isinittin kaasa.”
For behold, O house of Israel, I will raise up against you a nation, says the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so that you shall not enter into Aemath, and as it were [from] the river of the wilderness.
